Is there an ETA for a release using libvigraimpex3? If it's likely to
be soon then it may be worth waiting and pursuing this route; if it will
be a while or there is no ETA then this doesn't seem like the best idea
as we risk ending up with a libvigraimpex3 ABI which doesn't match the
upstream library of that name.

This seems the next most preferable option after 2), imho.
